She is another quiet, unassuming fox. Her mom dresses her to blend into the forest.
Can you see her mittens on a string?

girl dog in stripes
I started cleaning up my studio which lead to reexamining the many bins with partially finished projects. Now my goal is to clean up by finishing some of these lovelies!
one more summer girl fox
I know summer is coming to an end but I can’t let it go yet.
I’d make her a heavy sweater but it just didn’t seem right.
She has a bright, pretty skirt made from a Lizzy House fabric.
And a shirt made from handkerchief linen. Well, actually made from a handkerchief. I added a little line of lace at the neckline. And a spider-webby shawl in case there are cool breezes.
A wool felt purse-
first day of school fox
I imagine this little fox girl is starting her first day of kindergarten.
I was thinking about this photograph when I designed the clothes- that is me on the left.
I grew up in an era where little girls wore dresses to school- even Nursery School and kindergarten. We did not carry backpacks like this little fox though. She got all her supplies ready- 2 notebooks, a penny for lunch and a pencil.
She is wearing skirt and shirt, both made from some more of my Heather Ross stash. I’ve been saving the gnomes for something special.
Her jacket is super-soft corduroy.
yellow girl dog
I brought 3 dog dolls out to San Francisco and they were all grabbed up in the first few hours. That inspired me to start in on the pile that I had cut out last spring but had never sewed up. Fun, fun, fun!
summer forest fox girl
I wish her jacket was my size.
here comes the …
Bride and Groom!
I know I usually have a bunch of photos, but not today. I have a brand new computer (Yeah!) but there is always a learning curve. I can’t figure out how to make the new IPhoto do what I knew how to do in the old one (Boo). And, I am simply too busy with the show prep to spend a few hours on it. So, later.
But, just so you know, his vest matches her dress. A perfect couple.
last girl for now
I’m so proud of myself for finishing up this last sweet girl before the end of February. Of course I did have one extra day- thank you Leap Year! No more girls waiting to be finished. Um, except for the tattooed girls which I will get to soon, I am promising them.
I pulled out all the silk ribbon and also some cotton lace.
A big silk bow on the back of the dress and one on her head too.
I pulled out all my fancy buttons to pick just the right one for her throat. It took me an hour. And that was after I’d sewed on a silk bow and then nixed it.
The dress fabric is part of the original stash of wools I got from my Mom’s attic.
She has silk ribbon laces- very fancy!
red-haired girl
Some of these girls have been waiting a very long time to get finished up. It is making me very happy to bring them to life.
I wouldn’t mind a cashmere dress like that- soooo soft!
It is nice to have somewhere to use those special little one-of buttons.
She was suppose to be part of the forest girl series but never made it into the group.
I’m getting tired/bored of taking photos of the dolls in my yard. Today I wandered a bit farther and photographed her in the local graveyard.
Nicole wrote up a super nice blurb about me here. Thanks Nicole! I am so happy to be part of the show.
a summer girl fox
I love this dress-
I know I would have wanted one like it when I was little.
This fox is definitely not dressed for camouflage. I love the bright colors in this plaid. I tried to pick up some of them in the sweater and her purse.
This is the last fox for now. I will continue to work on my goal of finishing up the mountain of partially finished dolls in my studio. I’m not sure what it’ll be next…
